The third issue of the MAPS Newsletter highlights key developments within the Migration and Displacement Action Plan for Sub-Saharan Africa (MAPS) project.

This special issue presents the selection of 40 early-career researchers from ten Sub-Saharan African countries, awarded a 26-month research fellowship following a highly competitive call with more than 350 applicants. The fellowships are hosted by Kabale University (Uganda), the University of Dodoma (Tanzania), and Amref International University (Kenya) and aim to foster new knowledge on migration and displacement dynamics across the region.

The newsletter also reports on the first MAPS Summer School held in Nairobi, where researchers and international experts explored migration dynamics through the four pillars of Peace, People, Planet and Prosperity, engaging in interdisciplinary discussions on climate change, migration governance, urban integration, and social inclusion.

Additional sections highlight seminars, research activities, and upcoming training opportunities within the MAPS capacity-building programme, contributing to the development of a new generation of migration scholars across Africa and Europe.

Read the full newsletter to discover the latest MAPS activities and research initiatives.
